Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 24, 2019 and November 25, 2018, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. These financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. Actual results may vary from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for our full fiscal year, which ends the last Sunday in May. These financial statements and condensed notes should be read together with the combined and consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2019.

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Leases

We lease various real estate, including certain operating facilities, warehouses, office space, and land. We also lease material handling equipment, vehicles, and certain other equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to 21 years. Leases having a lease term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized as costs are incurred.
